DJT vs CHINA - Trade Deal Propaganda
DJT vs CHINA + WSJ + Bloomberg
Compare/reconcile
POTUS:
(Tweeter comments)
The 25% Tariffs will remain as is,
with 7 1/2% put on much of the remainder….
…..The Penalty Tariffs set for December 15th will not be charged because of the fact that we made the deal.
The Wall Street Journal story on the China Deal is completely wrong, especially their statement on Tariffs. Fake News. They should find a better leaker!
